The New Fantastic Beasts Trailer Looks Totally...Fantastic!

Like getting cash on your birthday, new Harry Potter Universe stories aren't something we ask for, but we're almost always happy to have them. And the biggest thing to come out of the wizarding world since Deathly Hallows Part Two is certainly the upcoming film version of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, written by JK Rowling herself and starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Colin Farrell and Ezra Miller (rocking a perfectly horrible haircut).

Not gonna lie, we were a little nervous about a whole new set of adventures not starring the golden trio and set in 1930s New York City. But the trailer, released today, looks...so...good. Like, actually magical good.

Unlike the school-centered Hogwarts escapades we're used to, Fantastic Beasts seems to be a wartime tale, combining the lore of Prohibition with the first inklings of Gellert Grendelwald's rise to power in Europe (AKA Hitler pre-World War Two). But as much as this video dazzles us with the special effects (those beasts!) and makes us nostalgic (that music), like any good trailer it leaves us with more questions than answers. Questions like: Who is that non-mag? Will a young(er) Dumbledore make a cameo? Is that really everything that was in the suitcase? Will our boy Newt Scamander make it out of New York alive? And why the hell weren't we born witches??????
